imagine you're sitting in a classroom with 40 to 
50 students from 20 30 40 different countries all

0:00:13.870,0:00:21.490
grappling with the world's most complex problems 
climate change hunger human migration how to

0:00:21.490,0:00:27.790
create and sustain change around sustainable 
development goals taking social finance to

0:00:27.790,0:00:34.060
scale doing good at scale is what our program 
is about so a key feature of how we define

0:00:34.060,0:00:40.240
social finance in this program and in our own work 
here is to understand a spectrum of finance that

0:00:40.240,0:00:46.510
advises impact as well as as well as financial 
discipline and this goes right from philanthropy

0:00:46.510,0:00:52.570
and engaged grant-making through what's called 
impact investing which is financial capital

0:00:52.570,0:00:58.000
allocation for social impact but also some kind 
of return right through to market or above market

0:00:58.000,0:01:03.790
rate investments that also have impacts when I 
think about the sustainable development goals

0:01:03.790,0:01:09.040
trillions of dollars are called for to actually 
make a difference where those resources going to

0:01:09.040,0:01:14.260
come from they're going to come from students 
in the classroom they're going to be activists

0:01:14.260,0:01:19.060
they're going to be financier so they're gonna 
be philanthropists there are going to be public

0:01:19.060,0:01:24.310
agency officials they're gonna be accountants 
we're gonna be lawyers coming together because

0:01:24.310,0:01:31.790
they want to make a difference at large scale 
as students I'm hoping to share with you how we

0:01:31.790,0:01:39.170
have used Silicon Valley Community Foundation 
as a platform to connect disparate groups with

0:01:39.170,0:01:46.220
different interests using different social 
financing tools to get on the same page to

0:01:46.220,0:01:55.250
move important social issues forward and have some 
degree of success allows participants to look at

0:01:55.250,0:02:02.480
their philanthropy from a different perspective 
in a more systematic way to share their own

0:02:02.480,0:02:09.950
experiences from different countries and in the 
end of the day to establish new partnerships and

0:02:09.950,0:02:17.180
networks across borders we also have good research 
experience in this field to having published

0:02:17.180,0:02:22.820
really the first book on social finance in the 
world out of Oxford and some colleagues across

0:02:22.820,0:02:31.280
the university and beyond I would love to learn 
from the students in this course about all of

0:02:31.280,0:02:40.580
their many different varied experiences and how 
they can imagine more feedback practice fitting

0:02:40.580,0:02:45.200
into their work it's the first course really I 
think in the world that tries to look at this

0:02:45.200,0:02:52.400
broad range of impact capital and how it fits 
together for policy makers and for investors

0:02:52.400,0:03:00.140
you leave the program with an action plan you 
leave the program with a community and a family
